re:self perception, I feel like that one drawing where the person is Very lesbian from head to toe but like she lost her pin or her bracelet broke or something and she’s like “oh no how will people be able to tell now ):” except me with being trans.
except my analog for the pin is I’m just not in makeup or making slightly more of an effort to dress fem. like idk, shaved face alone I already feel really pretty and own so few masculine looking outfits so idk? (´-﹏-`;) I would hope I don’t come across as cis esp interacting with other trans ppl lol.
anyways, at least on here I feel like we’re afraid to talk to other trans ppl on the street bc we don’t want to out/clock them but we also desperately want to be Seen and interacted with by other trans folk when we’re out. idk... is getting clocked by another trans person rly even that bad? would we not be rly happy to have another trans person pick us out from the crowd and be excited to talk to us? Personally I don’t rly care about “passing” and all the implicit standards around it and just kinda see clocking as a neutral “i can tell”.
street etiquette is confusing. idk what the answer is or even what my question is exactly, I just know there’s a lot of trans ppl out there who wish they knew More trans ppl and that we’re also kind of afraid to interact with each other when we’re out. what’s up with that?
these r just some silly passing thoughts so don’t read too much into it, but ykwim though?
#like..#i know we'd be more comfies interacting in an implicitly/explicitly social setting like a party or a picnic or whatever#but what about the ppl who don't rly do anything except shop and hang at home ? where/how do u meet ppl#lately i've tried just being more social and friendly in general wherever i am and it seems to be going fine? at like stores n stuff#but out on the actual street i think is still an area where i'm like aaaa idk what to do i'll just mind my business#and ideally it'd be nice if we could just Look at each other and maybe give some kind of signal that we'd like to say hi 👉👈#but also I VERY much relate to just keeping my eyes forward and having tunnel vision when i'm out walking bc i'm trying to both#be confident and also don't want to be perceived but don't want to Seem like i'm trying to not be perceived.#BUT THAT'S FOR CISHET PPL YKWIM?? like 😭#my people... pls say hi#idk#it me. the overthinker.
